Perhaps when we’re 140 we’ll all be wearing something like this…
If we get it right, and I think I know how to do this, that will not be the issue. In fact having exoskeletons for walking will (is) bad for health.
Artificial intelligence algorithms are being built into almost all aspects of health care. They’re integrated into breast cancer screenings, clinical note-taking, health insurance management and even phone and computer apps to create virtual nurses and transcribe doctor-patient conversations. Companies say that these tools will make medicine more efficient and reduce the burden on doctors and other health care workers. But some experts question whether the tools work as well as companies claim they do.
AI tools such as large language models, or LLMs, which are trained on vast troves of text data to generate humanlike text, are only as good as their training and testing. But the publicly available assessments of LLM capabilities in the medical domain are based on evaluations that use medical student exams, such as the MCAT. In fact, a review of studies evaluating health care AI models, specifically LLMs, found that only 5 percent used real patient data. Moreover, most studies evaluated LLMs by asking questions about medical knowledge. Very few assessed LLMs’ abilities to write prescriptions, summarize conversations or have conversations with patients — tasks LLMs would do in the real world.
Wonder if one could run of these in reverse for constant, extra excessive (until too tired and then term off or reverse to support)
Does your approach solve all issues in the extra cellular matrix that accumulate and compound as time goes on?
The ECM can be maintained. I cannot claim to solve all the problems. I think you should see my approach as being the foundations of a solution. I am still looking for a small number of people willing to do biohacking experimentation under my coaching (at no cost) at their risk. There are testing costs, however.

It was mid-February, and I’d turned up at an address in the Inner Richmond. Jonathan Xu, all of twenty-four years old, opened the door and greeted me with a smile. A few moments later, we were both in the basement where a children’s music teacher named Mathew had an EEG (Electroencephalogram) device strapped to his head so that Xu could try and read his mind.
Thanks to Neuralink, a host of other start-ups and headline writers trying to seduce SEO bots, you’ve likely read a lot about mind-reading technology over the past few years. We’re in the midst of a bull market when it comes to brain-computer interface (BCI) systems and attempts to place electrodes very close to neurons so that we can read out the electrical patterns they produce when people think. To that extent, Xu and his company Alljoined are nothing new.

- Circular’s Ring 2 is a new smart ring coming in 2025
- The company has just revealed it will add blood pressure monitoring before the end of the year
- It is also planning to add blood glucose trends in 2026
The Circular Ring 2 is Circular’s brand new smart ring coming in 2025, and the company has just announced two massive health features we can expect to be added following the launch.
Unveiled at CES and arriving later this year, the Ring 2 is coming for the likes of the Oura Ring 4 and Samsung Galaxy Ring as a contender for the best smart ring on the market.
Not only will it feature atrial fibrillation detection and ECG (a first for smart rings), but the company now says it is also getting blood pressure and possibly blood glucose monitoring.

I was going to order and then… I remembered my last Kickstarter “purchase” for an iPad Pro case that arrived 2 years later than promised. By then I had moved to a different iPad and it was worthless to me.
Additionally, the blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring features are “future” innovations. Over my many years of being a technophile I have learned not to believe any vaporware stories. So I didn’t go for the ring. I’ll wait and see if the Circular Ring 2 promises are real or not. Until then I can continue using my RingConn2 and my Samsung Galaxy rings, both of which work now.
The Galaxy ring has better software—Samsung Health. The RingConn2 has okay, but elementary software. However, it lasts a long time on a charge, many more days than the Samsung.

So? Did it? [Post must be at least 20 characters]…
I find my sleep has improved at least for the first part of the night and I kind of like the faint light flashes I get during the stimulation. I’m not sure if the stimulation itself if working though. The stimulation lasts 15min during which I’m just lying in bed relaxing while listening to their “relaxing/meditation/calming” music. It could be that calming and relaxing time that is the effective intervention. Also the placebo effect is probably very potent here as well.
Basically it’s a mixed bag, I can’t really say if it’s really working or not but for now I’m continuing using it which I guess shows I’m mildly optimistic.

New apps for cancer patients, cannabis users, others make use of algorithms that continually customize support
Cancer patients who undergo stem cell transplantation face a long recovery, requiring medications with debilitating side effects and support around the clock. It’s a difficult experience, with studies showing that more than 70 percent of patients don’t adhere to drug regimens.
Statistician Susan Murphy spends her days trying to help people suffering from such challenging maladies. The Mallinckrodt Professor of Statistics and Computer Science and associate faculty at the Kempner Institute and her team address healthcare needs not through medicine, but by mobile apps.
Murphy’s lab specializes in creating sophisticated computational instructions known as reinforcement learning algorithms, which form the technical backbone of next-generation programs to help people stick to a medication protocol, for instance, or regular tooth brushing, or reducing cannabis use.
And if this sounds like one of those ubiquitous apps that tracks steps or counts calories, think again.
